As we step into a new year, I want to take a moment—on behalf of myself and every member of the Winfield Police Department—to say thank you.
Thank you for the trust you place in us. Thank you for the kindness, encouragement, and support you show our officers and their families. And thank you for standing with us as partners in keeping our community safe.
The past year brought its share of challenges, victories, and lessons learned. Through it all, our officers remained committed to serving with integrity, professionalism, and compassion. They answered calls at all hours, ran toward danger when others couldn’t, and did so with a genuine heart for this community.
As we begin a new year, our commitment remains the same: to serve with honor, protect with courage, and treat every person with respect and dignity. We look forward to continuing to build strong relationships, open communication, and a community where everyone feels safe and valued.
From my family to yours, and from our police family to this community we are proud to serve, we wish you a safe, healthy, and blessed New Year. May it be filled with peace, hope, and new beginnings.
God bless you,
Brett Burleson
Chief of Police
On behalf of the Winfield Police Department
